On paper, the Yankees had an argument to be better than they were a season ago. Without\u00a0Gerrit Cole, that likely changes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the loss of Cole, the Yankees still have a massive need at third base. Unless they make an external addition, the Yankees will head into Opening Day with a giant question mark at the position, a potential issue for a team looking to win a World Series.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bryan Hoch of MLB.com, the Yankees might look to use a third base rotation if one player doesn\u2019t win the job in spring training.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDJ LeMahieu\u2019s bid to secure an Opening Day start lasted only two at-bats, as the veteran sustained a left calf strain that sent him to the injured list. The versatile Oswaldo Cabrera is now the current favorite, barring an outside acquisition.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCabrera is being challenged by Oswald Peraza, who hopes to restore his prospect luster after being slowed by injuries over the last two seasons. Jorbit Vivas and Pablo Reyes have also been mentioned. GM Brian Cashman suggested the club might use a third base rotation if one player doesn\u2019t grab the job,\u201d\u00a0Hoch wrote.<\/p>\n<h2>Who Could the Yankees Trade for?<\/h2>\n<p>There aren\u2019t many options for the New York Yankees to trade for. If the Yankees want to find a suitable option at third base, there would be some risk in any deal.<\/p>\n<p>However, finding a controllable, cheap bat would be the best scenario. Jacob Mountz of FanSided pitched a trade that would land Jose Miranda of the\u00a0Minnesota Twins. His deal would move\u00a0Roderick Arias\u00a0and Jesus Rodriguez.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-4\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-secondary my-f-1\" data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">\u201cAs it stands, Miranda appears to be a much better solution at third base than the Yankees\u2019 internal options. And since the Twins will likely be using him as a bench piece, Miranda might be a suitable trade candidate. Miranda is owed $800,000 this season before entering Arbitration 1, placing him perfectly within Cashman\u2019s price range\u2026<\/p>\n<p data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">\u201cRoderick Arias is the Yankees\u2019 No. 7 prospect. Arias is known for both his power and his plate discipline. The 20-year-old switch hitter is still growing in strength and is projected to hit over 20 home runs a season after he enters the majors\u2026 Across four levels in the minors, Rodriguez owns a remarkable career batting average of .311 and an OBP of .397. Rodriguez is currently unranked, but his addition to the Twins would impactfully bolster their catching depth,\u201d\u00a0Mountz wrote.<\/p>\n<p data-uw-rm-sr=\"\">For two prospects, Miranda, who doesn\u2019t hit free agency until 2029, would be a sneaky addition.<\/p>\n<h2>What do Miranda\u2019s Numbers Say?<\/h2>\n<p>Miranda won\u2019t wow anyone, but the New York Yankees don\u2019t have a better option on their current roster. In his first three seasons at the big league level, he\u2019s been more than servicable, posting a 105 OPS+ and an OPS+ above 110 in two of his three seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Miranda has 27 home runs, which isn\u2019t great, but his power could play better at Yankee Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>26 years old, the Yankees would get a young, cheap piece, something that\u2019s been needed in recent years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Getty Brian Cashman speaking The\u00a0New York Yankees\u00a0have been derailed by injuries, and the season hasn\u2019t started yet.
